Yes, the drama queen aspect of the sport is why it will never be a big sport in the U.S. Faking injury or a foul is essentially cheating, and we don't generally care too much for that.

But, I would also add that Balogun had position on the defender, who initiated the contact by running into and shouldering Balogun from behind. That's why Balogun was off balance, and why he ended up stepping on the defender's leg.

If the rules say that Balogun deserved a red car for that? Well, just one more reason that soccer is such a crap sport.

I’m not defending the decision. I don’t really care one way or the other. I was rooting for America but the loss wasn’t the end of the world for me.
